The image is a black-and-white etching divided into two sections. At the top, there is a scene depicting a group of people working inside a room with a tiled floor. The figures appear to be engaged in various activities related to metalworking or coin production. On the left, two men seem to be transferring heavy materials or products — one carrying a sizable load on his back and the other waiting with open arms, apparently to receive it. In the middle of the room sits a man crouching next to a large press or vice-like device featuring a long lever; it seems that he's working on something at the press. To the right, another figure is pulling down on the lever to operate the machine. Along the wall, there are cabinets with doors and what appear to be coins or round tokens on them. On the right-hand side of the room, two individuals are standing by a table, possibly examining or sorting items placed on it. A large spherical object with a rope attached hangs from a beam extending above the vice-like mechanism. Near the rope, one can see what appears to be rolled-up materials or perhaps sheets of metal. The bottom section of the image contains a collection of detailed technical illustrations, each marked with a figure number from 1 to 11. These drawings showcase various components, possibly parts of the mechanisms used for the minting or balancing of coins ("Monnayage, Balancier," as labeled at the bottom). The parts include intricately shaped metal pieces and structures. At the very bottom of the image, aside from the label, are the credits for those likely responsible for the drawing and engraving of this etching, denoted by names such as "Lucotte Del.", suggesting the name of the illustrator, and "Benard Fecit," likely the engraver.

This image appears to depict a scene from the past, featuring several people engaged in what looks like some kind of industrial or manufacturing process. The central focus of the image is a large machine or apparatus with various components and mechanisms shown in detail. Around this central device, there are several figures, some of whom appear to be working with or operating the machine. The figures are shown in a rather stylized, artistic manner, with their bodies and poses suggesting physical labor or activity. Below the main scene, there are several smaller diagrams and illustrations that seem to provide additional details or technical information about the components of the larger machine or apparatus.
